hala Otrokovice

The hall in Otrokovice does not open onto a grand boulevard. That is the backdrop for the Městská sportovní hala Otrokovice.

It is not built for a league of giants. This choice of material has allowed the venue to host the Otrokovice JUMP, an annual indoor athletics meeting that has held its place on the World Athletics Indoor Tour Challenger circuit since the late Nineties.

The building has changed more than its exterior suggests. A major project concluded in the spring of 2018, adding a new stand and fitting the roof with LED lights and a ventilation system that recovers heat.

The capacity remains fixed at 630, a number that does not shift with the fortunes of the teams. Occasionally, the women's basketball side from Chomutov plays here, but the hall is most associated with the local rhythm of sport.
